Resilience Capital Partners has acquired steel processors Hynes Industries and Hynes Kokomo. The two companies will operate as a newly-formed platform company that will operate under the name Hynes Industries. Members of the founding Bresnahan family will retain a minority ownership stake in the business. The acquisition of Hynes is Resilience Capital Partners’ ninth platform investment for The Resilience Fund III, LP.

“Hynes has developed a very strong reputation in the marketplace that is driven by their on-time delivery and quality record. They have an impressive track record and a great foundation from which we can launch our newest platform investment. We are excited and committed to rolling up our sleeves and working hard alongside the talented staff at Hynes right here in Ohio,” said Ki Mixon, a Partner at Resilience.
